Again, I don't see why this computation is necessary: The "normalwritebytes" statistic is what was written through the client's cache, and "directwritebytes" counts the number of bytes that were written via O_DIRECT.

As I said in the email preceding these patches:
"I'm not quire sure about this patch. I'm seeing oddities where the number of bytes in "NORMALWRITTENBYTES + DIRECTWRITTENBYTES" does not equal SERVERWRITTENBYTES. In some cases the amount of data written by the app (normalwrittenbytes + directwrittenbytes) is greater than the amount of data written to the server, and in other cases it's less than the amount of data written to the server. At the moment, i've ascribed that difference to data being written to the local cache and not flushed, but that doesn't make a whole lot of sense."

Our e-mail system may have barfed on my earlier reply, but I would like to understand why you need this statistic. What kind of analysis are you looking for on the write side?
